I still have my five sets in the original box from the mint. Here is my question. Can I get NGC to grade the delivery box from the mint? It was delivered by UPS in pretty good shape. It may have a few smudges on the side, but otherwise, pretty much prestine. Do you think that I could get an MS-65 on the box? I'm thinking that the unopened box might have value in near mint condition Have I had too many brews?
Thanks, mine got to them friday nov 18th, and nothing is in their system. I bet they got hammered with these sets that entire week.
Well, I'm at the "Quality Control" stage. I should be seeing the numbers soon....not sure I want to look or just wait until they arrive.
It arrived on 11/12 but not entered into their system until 11/14, so 7 working days or so? Not bad...
Well, not the mega home run of the other poster, but I'm okay with it.

Looks like you got 20 out of 25 as MS70 or PF70 - not bad at all. And after seeing the postings on the Collectors Universe board, I think I'm glad I stuck with NGC. I saw some PCGS posters who couldn't even assemble one set out of a box of 5! Now I have to go to the post office tomorrow and resend them because the morons in San Bernardino sent back my registered box - I am sure I will get in a nice little battle with the Postmaster though, because I am not paying twice to send them when they didn't make it out of SoCal the first time (it's a long story and I don't want to revisit it until I win the "discussion" tomorrow).
But it is 10.5 hours later in India. Beer time! I must say that the label on my mint box was virtually perfectly centered into the middle of the top of the box. I'm thinking that it might get an MS-66 for this alone. The box is pristine. The UPS guy delivered it wearing a aeseptic suit with nitrile gloves and a respirator. It has to be a perfect box, which of course leads to perfect coins within. I'm thinking it must mean something on ebay. Let me start typing.
